Solvometallurgy for battery-grade refining of lithium KU Leuven
o allow the rollout of e-mobility and stationary renewable energy storage in Europe, a secure, affordable and sustainable supply of battery-grade lithium salts for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) is key. However, Europe’s lithium supply chain is extremely vulnerable: Europe’s primary lithium resources (present as “hard rock”) are underexploited and, even if lithium would be mined domestically, there is no lithium refining capacity available in Europe ...

REsilient INteractive applications through hyper Diversity in Energy Efficient RadioWeaves technology KU Leuven
The REINDEER project will develop a new smart connect-compute platform with a capacity that is scalable to quasi-infinite, and that offers perceived zero latency and interaction with an extremely high number of embedded devices. It will thereto develop “RadioWeaves” technology, a new wireless access infrastructure consisting of a fabric of distributed radio, computing, and storage resources. RadioWeaves can be deployed as panels mounted on ...

Evaluation of food quality throughout the vegetable processing chain Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Processed (frozen, pre-processed or prepared) vegetables are an important component of ready-to-eat meals for 21st century consumers. This project works on innovative regeneration techniques for prepared vegetables while maintaining quality in important health care settings. "Regeneration" means reheating and preparing prepared and cooled (or frozen) vegetables for tasty consumption in the best possible way. ...
Cost-effective processing and refining of lithium into lithium hydroxide from strategic European multi-mineral lithium hard-rock projects KU Leuven
On 16 March 2023 the EC published the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) setting “benchmarks along the strategic raw materials value chain and for the diversification of EU supplies”. By targeting the domestic processing and refining of lithium – arguably “the most strategic CRM”– LITHOS directly contributes to the 1st and 2nd CRMA benchmarks (10% domestic extraction; 40% domestic processing). LITHOS processes and refines the ores from three ...

The implementation of big data policing in the infrastructure of security services: towards an industrial Proof of Concept Ghent University
Prof Dr Wim Hardyns has conducted pioneering research into the use of big data and predictive analytics within the fields of security, making him one of Europe's foremost experts on big data policing. As evidence of his expertise, a big data policing model (a statistical script) has been built from scratch as part of different academic research projects into big data policing. This script includes data input pipelines, pre-processing, and ...
CirculArity Enhancements by Low quality Scrap Analysis and Refinement KU Leuven
Today, the European Union's steel sector is a modern industry with its main customer base found within the EU home markets, particularly in high-end segments. However, challenges remain to keep the EU steel sector both competitive at a global level and climate-neutral, in line with the European Green Deal and the CleanSteel Partnership's vision.
The scrap usage in steelmaking is a common practice to improve the process sustainability, as ...
